Police said Jada Arnell Thomas, 26, was shot while signing autographs on stage after performing for the Black Academy of Arts and Letters in downtown Dallas.
Another 26-year-old woman, Micah Williams, was arrested in connection with the shooting and faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Police alleged that Williams fired from the crowd but have not said whether the two women knew each other.
Citing information from police, the Texas radio station WBAP reported that Williams was apparently suffering “a mental health episode” when she shot Thomas. Otherwise, media outlets said police did not release any details about a possible motive in the shooting.
Williams was taken to Dallas’s jail, where she is being held in lieu of $200,000 bail. Police said they have recovered the gun she allegedly used to shoot Thomas.
